Reverend Fr. Thomas Berry C.P is a Catholic priest of the Passionist order, cultural historian and ecotheologian (although cosmologist and geologian - or “Earth scholar” - are his preferred descriptors). Among advocates of deep ecology and "ecospirituality" he is famous for proposing that a deep understanding of the history and functioning of the evolving universe is a necessary inspiration and guide for our own effective functioning as individuals and as a species.
